When you first hear the term “bum marketing” you may think what the hell? Now, depending on which story you subscribe to, bum marketing can either mean one of two things, it can either refer to sitting on your bum all day making money or if you were homeless (ie. a bum) and living on the street, you could make money online with bum marketing because it requires only free methods to generate income – well, except an Internet connection of course.

If you have a very small, limited budget, then you can still make money online, just follow the bum marketing principles such as:

Action: Wow, this is an important step, as a bum marketer everything is about ACTION. You can’t afford to outsource, you can’t afford to wait for someone to do it for you, you have to take action and do things every single day. If you are not taking any action, you are not working. Reading a forum is not action, checking emails is not action either. Action is doing something that will actively help you earn money.

Prolific Writer: Bum marketing is all about how much content you can get out there and submit to article directories. You will be spending the bulk of your time writing articles and submitting them. Take advantage of all the free places you can create webpages like Squidoo, HubPages, Blogger and Weebly and get content on there that is related to the niche you are targeting. Remember, without content, you can’t drive traffic to the places that will make you money – and you won’t be able to eat!

Forget Perfection: Business is not about being perfect, it’s about doing enough to earn you money and being consistent in taking action each and every day. As long as you are writing articles and promoting your free sites in directories and social media sites the money will eventually take care of itself. You can’t focus on whether you are doing things in the right order or using the right method, simply get articles out there and get traffic.

Bum marketing is a great introduction for most Internet Marketers because it makes them realize how much work, time and effort is involved in making money, it’s not simply a push button system which sends a steady stream of cash to your bank account, whether you can afford to outsource or have to rely on being a bum marketer for a while, you won’t make money without taking action.
